I was thinking of organizing a couples tournament. $5 per couple and depending on how many enter we could pay up to 3 places. Payment would be in the form of a gift certificate to a nice restaurant for 2.

Format would be alternate drives but best lie after that. So both parties are involved in the end score. If you have another idea on how we could format it let me know.

Brian, given this format we just as well buy Gibsons dinner. I believe we could attract as many as 10-15 couples. How about $10 per couple and the money purchases food for the bbq? Early September we would still have plenty of daylight to meet and start play around 9:00, break for lunch, and get an afternoon round in. Play morning round with spouse and do a random draw in the afternoon. People could donate CTP's, and/or we could solicit donations from businesses.

I'd be happy to help out with the planning. (I was going to do it eventually anyway) "Over the Hill" Bob and Motherhucker will be there.

I agree, $10 a couple and donated prizes seems about right. But I also think the format needs to be a little more fair than just 'couple with lowest score'. CTPs would be better. When we did the Valentine's couples event, we had a women's CTP, as well as a men's. A washington/oregon (like at the Bad Monkey) might be a good choice too.

And none of the ladies went away empty handed, because each of us got a rose!

OTHB I would be happy to do a dual planning thing. I have never done a tournament of sorts. Although this will be more of a fun get together/BBQ with some prizes. I think your format would be lots of fun.

Not even sure we could make this but there are lots and lots of good couples out there.

ďI believe I can hit 18 greens, hit every fairway, you know ó Vision 54, which means you birdie every hole, thatís in the back of my mind. I want to putt better, chip better. That day when I hit 18 greens and one putt, Iíll know Iím a complete golfer. Will that ever happen? Iím not sure, but itís possible. The 54 vision is always in the back of my mind.Ē~Annika SŲrenstam

BBQ and disc golf sounds like fun. We're interested, depending on the date (summer's always pretty busy). We're real beginners, but it would be fun to see how some of the experts play, and maybe pick up a few tips.

The date is Sept 5th 9AM at Timber park. Yes, I realize it is Labor Day weekend, but it was the only saturday without a major tournament. I could have done it on the 15th of August but the Discraft Ace race was that weekend and not sure if some of the people would be torn between the 2.

There's an Ace Race happening this year? Please tell me it is at Crackwood... er... Rockwood.

August 15th would have worked for us. Are you sure you don't want to change it?
